Time flies, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zhixin was taken back to school by people sent by his grandfather.
"I'll come back next summer vacation, Brother Bao, wait for me."
Mobao was helpless. Ever since Naonao called him "Brother Mobao" in front of him, Zhu Zhixin had learned the same thing.
At first, he called Mobao brother, but now he just calls him Bao brother. No matter what I say, it’s no use. He just won’t change, so Mobao just lets him be.
However, since then, Mo Bao has strictly forbidden his family to call him by his nickname, and now they call him Chao Yan.
This is a polyphonetic character. At first I thought of calling it Zhaoyan, but then I thought it has the same pronunciation as Zhaoyan, which is not a good idea.
Once kids grow up, time flies by.
Moreover, the current middle schools have been changed to a two-year system in recent years, with two years for junior high school and two years for high school.
In this way, Mobao and his classmates would have graduated from high school in 1973.
If you want to go to high school at this time, you will be recommended to go to a migrant worker university. Some units have quotas, or there are only a few quotas in a whole county or a commune, which is very difficult to get.
Of course, it was not difficult for the Gu family to get one or two places, but no one mentioned this matter until they graduated from high school.
Jiang Mengxue had no plans to send her children to a migrant worker university. Given their age, they could afford to wait a few years, and the quality of the first batch of universities was self-evident.
The most important thing is that there were only two months from the spread of the news to the exam. In October, the central government issued a notice to resume the college entrance examination, and the exam started in December.
Not to mention that many people have put down their textbooks for many years and don’t even have review materials at home.
It is very difficult to review and take the college entrance examination in just two months.
According to the recollections of many people in later generations, that year many people asked relatives and friends from other places to buy a copy of the materials, or several people shared a copy and copied it down to review it at home.
In short, it can be said that everyone was caught off guard at that time.
Moreover, the college entrance examination was suspended for eleven years. During these eleven years, all junior high school and high school students were able to take the college entrance examination. The number of people was very large, reaching 5.7 million.
These include candidates from rural areas, factories, and the military.
The resumption of the college entrance examination not only marks a major reform in the field of educational philosophy, but also becomes a turning point for the country and the times.
The large number of people taking the college entrance examination this time makes it the one with the largest number of participants in the history of examinations in the world.
If the candidates who took the exam in the summer of 1978 are included, the total number reaches 11.6 million, which of course includes those who failed the previous year.
Although there were a lot of people, Jiang Mengxue felt that this was not a difficult task for her children.
Not to mention that they can review in advance, and their academic performance is very good, especially Mo Bao, who has always been the first in the grade since the start of Lishu, and his worst score in the exam is much higher than the second place.
Jiang Mengxue and her husband also discussed this matter with their children. They did not tell them that the college entrance examination would definitely be resumed, but given their age, this day would come sooner or later.
Mo Bao and Rui Rui both knew that with the Gu family's ability, it was not impossible for them to know some news in advance, so they fully agreed to follow the family's arrangements.
However, after they graduated in 1973, if they could not continue their studies or find a job, they could only go to the countryside as educated youth.
They were also unwilling to work in any unit. Mobao and Ruirui went back to Beijing during the summer vacation. I don’t know how the young men discussed it with each other, but they signed up for the army in front of their families.
If there wasn't someone at the recruitment office who knew Gu Zhenhai, they would probably have to wait until they entered his house to get the news.
Gu Qingbei's original plan for them was to join the army, and it would be even better if they could take the initiative to sign up.
"What were you kids thinking? Isn't it easy to tell your family if you want to join the army? How could you even think of signing up on your own?"
When Jiang Mengxue learned the news, it was already not long before they would join the recruit company, so she was so anxious that she rushed back to the capital immediately.
After all, this is an important moment in the children's lives, and it is necessary for her as a mother to witness their growth.
She hopes that when her children look back in the future, they will realize that they were not present at all the important moments in their lives.
When the children graduated from high school, she and Gu Qingbei took a day off from work to have dinner with the children and take some graduation photos. These will become a deep memory for them in the future.
Mo Bao didn't expect that his family would find out so soon. The reason he didn't tell his family was simply that he didn't want to use his family's connections to join the army.
No matter how things develop in the future, he hopes to give himself a chance to unleash his greatest potential.
So he didn't want outsiders to know about his family and relationships. He was just a new recruit and he acted as he pleased.
"Mom, don't worry about us signing up for the army. It depends on our own conditions. If we can be selected, we will be selected. If we can't be selected, forget it. We don't need your help."
What else does Jiang Mengxue not understand? Young people have a nature and want to rely on themselves for everything.
But she also went through this age group, so she understands the thoughts of young people very well.
Since her son has already spoken, why shouldn't she support him?
"Don't worry, I will tell your grandfather and your father that they will not give you any preferential treatment except fairness and justice."
Although I won't help them behind the scenes, I absolutely cannot let those messy things happen to them.
After the conscription is over, it is time to prepare to join the army. Because time is limited, Jiang Mengxue has to rush back after understanding and arranging everything.
The task of sending them can only be given to Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang, and Luan Huiying should also have time.
